Fantastic Way To Experience Buenos Aires

Mente Argentina was instrumental in making my 6-week stay in Buenos Aires a resounding success. I enrolled in the Spanish and Tango programs, and I couldn’t be more impressed with the quality, expertise, professionalism, and flexibility of everyone involved.

I have taken a number of Spanish intensives, and this was by far the best I’ve experienced. They make you speak in Spanish, no matter your level, and they are encouraging without your feeling pressured to perform beyond your capacity. I learned SO MUCH and made friends as well!

The tango was phenomenal. I took private lessons as well as group classes as part of the program, and my teachers were exacting, knowledgeable, and encouraging. I went from an advanced beginner level to true intermediate in only 6 weeks of hard work!

In fact, I had originally planned to stay for 4 weeks but I was having such a great time I added another 2 weeks onto my stay. I was living in a studio apartment in a terrific area - central, quiet, yet near all forms of transit. I felt like I really got the hang of being a “porteño”.

The Mente staff were really helpful - really went above and beyond, even advising me on a trip to Patagonia which was not part of their program. I always felt like I had a resource I could call on, at any time.

I was a little concerned about thinking this was mainly for college-aged or recent college grads, but I found people of all ages in the program and I felt quite comfortable in my mid-sixties with all the folks I met.

In sum - this is definitely the way to start out experiencing a complex city like Buenos Aires on one’s own - with a support team like Mente Argentina behind you!
